After two years in the Army, which included eleven months in Vietnam, he resumed his career as business teacher (BC—before computers!), and he and his wife Jan raised two sons. He later earned a master’s degree in school counseling and worked with kids K-12. He became a Licensed Professional Counselor, retired from the school business in 2006, and spent nine years at a juvenile facility, working with incarcerated and DHS kids. He retired again in 2016.
Inspiration for Deep Well, Sweet Water came from the author’s memories of being raised in the south by poor, working-class parents. Racial problems were a daily part of life. Lillie Tuttle is loosely based on the author’s own mother, a stay-at-home mom who somehow managed to feed and clothe four boys.ver menos
